Athletics 2021
We are thrilled that the official competitive seasons will soon be underway. As you may expect this season will look different in many ways. The new policies and procedures for this season are driven by the Governor, OHA, OSAA and School District 4J and are updated as changes are made. At this time,
- Face coverings must be worn by everyone involved in practice or competition at all times. Players will wear face covering while playing.
- Contact tracing checking in and out of practice and competitions will continue.
- Stay home when feeling ill.
- District provided transportation to all competitions: All athletes will arrive at Sheldon, be transported to game venue, compete, be transported back to Sheldon.
- No Spectators at competitions. With state limitations on venue capacities there will be no spectators allowed at any of our competitions, both home and away.
While some of these changes may be disappointing to families, we are focused on the students experience and the opportunities we are able to provide.
Registration will be open for ALL OSAA sponsored athletic programs. Registration
Completed registration is required prior to participation in any athletic program.
This includes an updated athletic physical. Athletics main webpage
